Help Kate Achieve Peace with Top Surgery
Donation protected
Hi my name is Kate and I’m trying to raise money for top surgery so I can finally feel at home in my own body.
Some background on me: My chest has always been a source of extreme distress for me ever since I started developing. My breasts have always felt foreign on my body and like they don’t belong. This chest dysphoria has caused me to feel not at home in my body and has pushed me into some of the deepest depressions I have ever been in.
I’ve tried anything and everything to hide my chest and make it smaller but nothing has worked. I’ve binded so much over the years that it has caused severe respiratory issues and has impacted my ability to breathe normal on runs, which is my therapy and what I love to do most. I lost an extreme amount of weight and put my health at risk just in hopes it would make my chest flat. Throughout the years I have realized that the issue has never been “my breasts are too big”, the issue is my breasts are not ME and I don’t want them on my body.
Please help me afford the surgery that will not only make me finally feel at home in my body, but will make my body physically align with how I view myself…how I have always viewed myself.
